Florence Welch has claimed she needs to take a break from the music industry before she returns to the studio.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, the singer explained that she needed rest from her constant touring schedule so she could be ‘inspired again’ for new material.

‘I’ve only just moved out of my mum’s house,’ Welch explained, ‘so I’d like to settle into my new place and start getting inspired again. If I started writing songs now, all they’d be about is tour buses and hotel rooms.’

Welch also revealed that she was planning to write a musical with a childhood friend. ‘It would be amazing to get it into the World End.

Florence And The Machine are on tour throughout the UK and Ireland next month on the following dates:
